Low Melt Agarose

Low Melt Agarose (or low melting point agarose) is an agarose with a comparatively low melting point. It is ideal for fragment separation between 80 bp and 25,000 bp.

  • The melting point is guaranteed to be < 66°C, lower than that of universal agarose.
  • Excellently suited for preparative gel electrophoresis.
  • The excised gel piece with the desired DNA fragment can be melted at a lower temperature, thus allowing the DNA to be obtained more gently.
  • For the isolation of DNA fragments, we recommend the Bio&SELL Double Pure Combi Kit.

Like all our agaroses, each batch of Bio&SELL low melting point agarose undergoes strict quality controls with regard to all relevant parameters.

Guaranteed properties of Universal Agarose:

  • Gel strength (1.0%):> 200 g/cm2
  • Gelling temperature (1.5 %): < 31 °C
  • Melting temperature (1.5%): <66 °C
  • Electroendosmosis (-mr): 0.05-0.14
  • Sulfate content: < 0.10 %
  • Water content: < 10.0 %
  • DNA binding: not detectable
  • DNase and RNase activity: not detectable

Preparation of a standard agarose gel:

For 100 ml of a 1% agarose gel, 1 g of agarose is prepared in 100 ml of electrophoresis buffer. After dissolving the agarose by heating and a cooling phase, you can cast the gel.
